Dr.
James R. Shannon, former director of the National institute of health
declared, "the only safe vaccine is one that is never used."

Cowpox vaccine was believed
able to
immunize people against smallpox. At the time this vaccine was
introduced, there was already a decline in the number of cases of
smallpox. Japan introduced compulsory vaccination in 1872. In 1892
there were 165,774 cases of smallpox with 29,979 deaths despite the
vaccination program. A stringent compulsory smallpox vaccine program,
which prosecuted those refusing the vaccine, was instituted in England
in 1867. Within 4 years 97.5 % of persons between 2 and 50 had been
vaccinated. The following year England experienced the worst smallpox
epidemic[1] in its history with 44,840 deaths.
Between 1871 and 1880 the incidence of smallpox escalated from 28 to 46
per 100,000. The smallpox
vaccine does not work.

Much of the success
attributed to
vaccination programs may actually have been due to improvement in
public health related to water quality and sanitation, less crowded
living conditions, better nutrition, and higher standards of living.
Typically the incidence of a disease was clearly declining before the
vaccine for that disease was introduced. In England the incidence of
polio had decreased by 82 % before the polio vaccine was introduced in
1956.

In the early 1900s an astute
Indiana
physician, Dr. W.B. Clarke, stated "Cancer
was practically unknown until compulsory vaccination with cowpox
vaccine began to be introduced. I have had to deal with two hundred
cases of cancer, and I never saw a case of cancer in an unvaccinated[2]
person."

There is a widely held
belief that
vaccines should not be criticized because the public might refuse to
take them. This is valid only
if the benefits exceed the known risks of the vaccines.

Do
Vaccines Actually Prevent Disease?

This important question does
not
appear to have ever been adequately studied. Vaccines are enormously
profitable for drug companies and recent legislation in the U.S. has
exempted lawsuits against pharmaceutical firms in the event of adverse
reactions to vaccines which are very common. In 1975 Germany stopped
requiring pertussis (whooping cough) vaccination. Today less than 10 %
of German children are vaccinated against pertussis. The number of
cases of pertussis has steadily decreased[3]even though far fewer
children are receiving pertussis vaccine.

Measles
outbreaks have occurred in schools with vaccination rates over 98 % in
all parts of the U.S. including areas that had reported no cases of
measles for years. As measles
immunization rates rise to high levels measles becomes a disease seen
only in vaccinated persons. An outbreak of measles
occurred in a school where 100 % of the children had been vaccinated.
Measles mortality rates had declined by 97 % in England before measles
vaccination was instituted.

In
1986 there were 1300 cases of pertussis in Kansas and 90 % of these
cases occurred in children who had been adequately vaccinated.
Similar vaccine failures have been reported from Nova Scotia where
pertussis continues to be occurring despite universal vaccination.
Pertussis remains endemic[4]
in the Netherlands where for more than 20 years 96 % of children have
received 3 pertussis shots by age 12 months.

After institution of
diptheria
vaccination in England and Wales in 1894 the
number of deaths from diptheria rose by 20 % in the subsequent 15 years.
Germany had compulsory vaccination in 1939. The rate of diptheria
spiraled to 150,000 cases that year whereas, Norway which did not have
compulsory vaccination, had only 50 cases of diptheria the same year.

The continued presence of
these
infectious diseases in children who have received vaccines proves that
life long immunity which follows natural infection does
not occur in persons receiving vaccines.
The injection process places the viral particles into the blood without
providing any clear way to eliminate these foreign substances.

Why
Do Vaccines Fail To Protect Against Diseases?

Walene James, author of Immunization:
the Reality Behind The Myth,
states that the full[5]
inflammatory response is necessary to create real immunity. Prior to
the introduction of measles and mumps vaccines children got measles and
mumps and in the great majority of cases these diseases were benign.
Vaccines "trick" the body so it does not mount a complete inflammatory
response to the injected virus.

Vaccines
and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome SIDS

The incidence of Sudden
Infant Death
syndrome SIDS has grown from .55 per 1000 live births in 1953 to 12.8
per 1000 in 1992 in Olmstead County, Minnesota. The peak incidence for
SIDS is age 2 to 4 months the exact time most vaccines are being given
to children. 85 % of cases of SIDS occur in the first 6 months of
infancy. The increase in SIDS as a percentage of total infant deaths
has risen from 2.5 per 1000 in 1953 to 17.9 per 1000 in 1992. This rise
in SIDS deaths has occurred during a period when nearly every childhood
disease was declining due to improved sanitation and medical progress
except SIDS. These deaths from
SIDS did increase during a period when the number of vaccines given a
child was steadily rising to 36 per child.

Dr. W. Torch was able to
document 12
deaths in infants which appeared within 3½ and 19 hours of a
DPT immunization. He later reported 11 new cases of SIDS death and one
near miss which had occurred within 24 hours of a DPT injection. When
he studied 70 cases of SIDS two thirds of these victims[6]
had been vaccinated from one half day to 3 weeks prior to their deaths.
None of these deaths was attributed to vaccines. Vaccines are a sacred
cow and nothing against them appears in the mass media because they are
so profitable to pharmaceutical firms.

There is valid reason to
think that
not only are vaccines worthless in preventing disease they are
counterproductive because they injure the immune system permitting
cancer, auto-immune diseases and SIDS to cause much disability and
death.

Are
Vaccines Sterile?

Dr. Robert Strecker claimed
that the
department of defense DOD was given $10,000,000 in 1969 to create the
AIDS virus to be used as a population-reducing[7]
weapon against blacks. By use of the Freedom of Information Act Dr.
Strecker was able to learn that the DOD secured funds from Congress to
perform studies on immune
destroying agents for germ warfare.

Once produced, the vaccine
was given
in two locations. Smallpox vaccine containing HIV was given to
100,000,000 Africans in 1977. Over 2000 young white homosexual males in
New York City were given Hepatitis B vaccine that contained HIV virus
in 1978. This vaccine was given at New York City Blood Center. The
Hepatitis B vaccine containing the HIV virus was also administered to
homosexual males in San Francisco, Los Angeles, St.Louis, Houston and
Chicago in 1978 and 1979. U.S. Public Health epidemiology studies have
disclosed that these same 6 cities had the highest incidence of AIDS,
Aids related Complex (ARC) and deaths rates from HIV, when compared to
other U.S. cities.

When a new virus is
introduced into a
community. It takes 20 years for the number of cases to double. If the
fabricated story that green monkey bites of pygmies led to the HIV
epidemic, the alleged monkey bites in the 1940s should have produced a
peak in the incidence of HIV in the 1960s at which time HIV
was non existent in Africa. The
World Health Organization (WHO) began a African smallpox vaccination
campaign in 1977 that targeted urban population centers and avoided
pygmies. If the green monkey bites of pygmies truly caused the HIV
epidemic the incidence of HIV in pygmies should have been higher than
in urban citizens. However, the
opposite was true.

In 1954 Dr. Bernice Eddy
(bacteriologist) discovered live monkey viruses in supposedly sterile
inactivated polio vaccine[8]
developed by Dr. Jonas Salk. This discovery was not well received at
the NIH and Dr. Eddy was demoted. Later Dr. Eddy, working with Sarah
Stewart, discovered SE polyoma virus. This virus was quite important
because it caused cancer in every animal receiving it. Yellow fever
vaccine had previously been found to contain avian (bird) leukemia
virus. Later Dr. Hilleman isolated SV 40 virus from both the Salk and
Sabin polio vaccines. There
were 40 different viruses[9]
in these polio vaccines they were trying to eradicate. They were never
able to get rid of these viruses ontaminating the polio vaccines. The
SV 40 virus causes malignancies. It has now been identified in 43 % of
cases of non-Hodgekin lymphoma[10]
, 36 % of brain tumors[11]
, 18 % of healthy blood samples, and 22 % of healthy semen samples,
mesothiolomas and other malignancies. By the time of this discovery SV
40 had already been injected into 10,000,000 people in Salk vaccine.
Gastric digestion inactivtes some of SV 40 in Sabin vaccine. However,
the isolation of strains of Sabin polio vaccine from all 38 cases of
Guillan Barre Syndrome[12]
GBS in Brazil suggests that significant numbers of persons are able to
be infected from this vaccine.
All 38 of these patients had received Sabin polio vaccine months to
years before the onset of GBS. The
incidence of non-Hodgekin lymphoma has"mysteriouly" doubled since the
1970s.

Dr. John Martin, Professor
of
Pathology at the Univ. of Southern California, was employed by the
Viral Oncology Branch of the Bureau of Biologics (FDA) from 1976 to
1980. While employed there he identified foreign DNA in the live polio
vaccine Orimune Lederle that suggested serious vaccine contamination.
He warned his supervisors about this problem and was told to discontinue
his work as it was outside the scope of testing required for polio
vaccine.

Later Dr. Martin learned
that all
eleven of the African green monkeys used to grow the Lederle polio
virus Orimune had grown simian cytomegalovirus from kidney cell
cultures. Lederle was aware of this viral contamination as their
Cytomegaloviral Contamination Plan[13]
clearly showed in 1972. The Bureau of Biologics decided not to pursue
the matter so production of infected polio vaccine continued.

In 1955 Dr. Martin
identified unique
cell destroying viruses termed stealth viruses in patients with chronic
fatigue syndrome. These viruses lacked genes that would enable the
immune system to recognize them. Thus they were protected by the body's
failure to develop antiviral antibodies. In March of 1995, Dr. Martin
learned that some of these
stealth viruses had originated from African green monkey simian
cytomegalovirus of a type known to infect man.

The Lederle vaccine
experience
suggests that the higher-ups are not concerned about sloppy and
dangerous preparation of vaccines. Animal cross infection is a huge
unsolved current problem for all vaccine manufacturing. If this vaccine
production sounds like an unbelievable mess to you, you
are right.

The influential Club of Rome
has a
position paper in which they state that the world population is too
large and needs to be reduced by 90 %. This means that 6 billion people
must be reduced to 500 to 600 million. Obviously, creating famines and
genocidal wars such as wrecked havoc in Africa, and loosing new
laboratory-created diseases (HIV, Ebola, Marburg[14]
, and probably West Nile virus and SARS) can help reduce the
population. Other elitist groups (Trilaterals, Bildenbergers) have
expressed similar concerns about excess people on planet Earth.

The company that was
projected to
produce the new smallpox vaccine in the U.S. was in serious trouble in
England because of unsatisfactory quality of operations before setting
up their facility in the U.S. Why would their performance here be any
better than it was in England?

If there are important
powerful groups
of people that are determined to reduce the world population, what
could be a more diabolically clever way to eliminate people than to
inject them with a cancer-causing vaccine? The
person receiving the injection would never suspect that the vaccine
taken 10 to 15 years earlier had caused the cancer to appear.

Other
Dangers From Vaccines

In the March 4, 1977 issue
of Science
Jonas and Darrell Salk warn, "Live virus vaccines against influenza or
poliomyelitis may in each
instance produce the disease it intended to prevent. The live virus
against measles and mumps may produce such side effects as encephalitis
(brain damage).

The swine flu vaccine was
administered
to the American public even though there had never been a case of swine
flu identified in a human. Farmers refused to use the vaccine because
it killed too many animals. Within a few months of use in humans this
vaccine caused many cases of serious nerve injury (Guillan Barre
syndrome).

An article in the Washington
Post on
Jan. 26, 1988 mentioned that all cases of polio since 1979 had been
caused by the polio vaccine with no known cases of polio from a wild
strain since 1979. This might have created a perfect situation to
discontinue the vaccine, but the vaccine is still given. Vaccines are a
wonderful source of profits with no risks to the drug companies since
vaccine injuries are now recompensed by the government.

The steady escalation in the
number of
vaccines administered has been followed by an identical rise in the
incidence of auto-immune diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, subacute lupus
erythematosus, psoriasis, multiple sclerosis, asthma) seen in children.
While there is a genetic transmission of some of these diseases many
are probably due to the injury from foreign protein particles, mercury,
aluminum, formaldehyde and other toxic agents injected in vaccines.

In 1999, the rotavirus
vaccine was
recommended by the Center for Disease Control for all infants. When
this vaccine program was instituted several infants died and many had
life endangering bowel obstructions. Prelicensure trials[15]
of the rotavirus vaccine had demonstrated an increased incidence of
intussusception 30 times greater than normal but the vaccine was
released anyway without special warnings to practitioners to be on the
lookout for bowel problems. Children's
vaccines are often not studied for toxicity possibly because such study
might eliminate them from being used.

A
large study from Australia showed that the risk of developing
encephalitis from the pertussis vaccine was 5 times greater than the
risk of developing encephalitis by contacting pertussis by natural
methods.

Naturally acquired immunity
by illness
evolves by spread of a virus from the respiratory tract to the liver,
thymus, spleen, and bone marrow. When symptoms begin, the entire immune
response has been mobilized to repel the invading virus. This complex
immune system response creates antibodies that confer life long
immunity against that invading virus and prepares the child to respond
promptly to an infection by the same virus in the future.

Vaccination, in contrast,
results in
the persisting of live virus or other foreign antigens within the cells
of the body, a situation that may provoke auto-immune reactions as the
body attempts to destroy its own infected cells. There is no surprise
that the incidence of auto-immune diseases (rheumatoid arthritis,
subacute lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis, asthma, psoriasis)
has risen sharply in this era of multiple vaccine immunization.

Vaccine
Induced Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

Dr. John Classen has
published 29
articles on vaccine-induced[16]
diabetes. At least 8 of 10 children with Type 1 (insulin needing)
diabetes have this disease as a result of vaccination. These children
may have avoided measles, mumps, and whooping cough but
they have received something far worse: an illness that shortens life
expectancy by 10 to 15 years and results in a life requiring constant
medical care.

Dr.
Classen has shown in Finland, the introduction of hemophilus type b
vaccine caused three times as many cases of type 1 diabetes as the
number of deaths and brain damage from hemophilus influenza type b it
might have prevented.

In
New Zealand, the incidence of Type 1 diabetes in children rose by 61 %
after an aggressive vaccine program against hepatitis B..
This same program has been started in the U.S.A. so we can now look
forward to many cases of Type 1 diabetes in children. Similar rises in
Type 1 diabetes have been seen in England, Italy, Sweden, and Denmark
after immunization programs against Hepatitis B.

Toxic
Substances Are Needed To Make Vaccines.

Vaccines contain many toxic
substances
that are needed to prevent the vaccines from becoming infected or to
improve the performance of the vaccine. Among these substances are
mercury, formaldehyde and aluminum.[17]

In the past 10 years, the
number of
autistic children has risen from between 200 and 500 percent in every
state in the U.S. This sharp rise in autism followed the introduction
of measles, mumps and rubella vaccine in 1975.

Representative Dan Burton's
healthy
grandson was given injections for 9 diseases in one day. These
injections were instantly followed by autism.
These injections contain a preservative of mercury called thimerosal.
The boy received 41 times the amount of mercury which is capable of
harm to the body. Mercury is a neurotoxin that can injure the brain and
nervous system. And tragically, it did.

In the United States the
number of
compulsory vaccine injections has increased from 10 to 36 in the last
25 years. During this period, there has been a simultaneous increase in
the number of children suffering learning disabilities and attention
deficit disorder. Some of these childhood disabilities are related to
intrauterine cerebral damage from maternal cocaine use, but probably
vaccines cause many of the others.

Many vaccines contain
aluminum. A new
disease called macrophagic myofasciitis causes pain in muscles, bones
and joints. All persons with
this disease have received aluminum containing vaccines. Deposits of
aluminum are able to remain as an irritant in tissues and disturb the
immune and nervous system for a lifetime.

Nearly all vaccines contain
aluminum
and mercury. These metals appear to play an important role in the
etiology of Alzheimer's Disease. An expert at the 1997 International
Vaccine Conference related that a
person who takes 5 or more annual flu vaccine shots has increased the
likelihood of developing Alzheimer's Disease by a factor of 10 over the
person who has had 2 or fewer flu shots.

When we take vaccines we are
playing a
modern version of Russian Roulette. We not only get exposed to
aluminum, mercury, formaldehyde and foreign cell proteins but we may
get simian virus 40 and other dangerous viruses which can cause cancer,
leukemia and other severe health problems because the vaccine pool is
contaminated due to careless animal isolation techniques. Congress has
protected the manufacturers from lawsuits, so
dangerous vaccines simply increase profits at no risk to the drug
companies.

U.S. children aged 2 months
began
receiving hepatitis B vaccine in December 2000.No peer-reviewed studies
of the safety of hepatitis B in this age bracket had been done. Over
36,000 adverse reactions with 440 deaths were soon reported but the
true incidence is much higher as reporting is voluntary so
only approximately 10 % of adverse reactions get reported.
This means that about 5000 infants are dying annually from the
hepatitis B vaccine. The CDC's Chief of Epidemiology admits that the
frequency of serious reactions to hepatitis B vaccine is 10
times higher than other vaccines.
Hepatitis B is transmitted sexually and by contaminated blood, so the
incidence of this disease must be near zero in this age bracket. A
vaccine expert, Dr. Philip Incao, states that "the
conclusion is obvious that the risks[18] of hepatitis B
vaccination far outweigh the benefits. Once a vaccine is mandated the
vaccine manufacturer is no longer liable for adverse reactions.

Dr. W.B. Clarke's important
observation that cancer was not found in unvaccinated individuals
demands an explanation and one now appears forthcoming. All
vaccines given over a short period of time to an immature immune system
deplete the thymus gland (the primary gland involved in immune
reactions) of irreplaceable immature immune cells.
Each of these cells could have multiplied and developed into an army of
valuable cells to combat infection and growth of abnormal cells. When
these immune cells have been used up, permanent immunity may not
appear. The Arthur Research Foundation in Tucson, Arizona estimates
that up to 60 % of our immune
system may be exhausted[19] by multiple mass
vaccines (36 are now required for children). Only 10 % of immune cells
are permanently lost when a child is permitted to develop natural
immunity from disease. There
needs to be grave concern about these immune system injuring
vaccinations! Could the persons who approve these mass vaccinations
know that they are impairing the health of these children, many of whom
are being doomed to requiring much medical care in the future?

Compelling evidence is
available that
the development of the immune system after contracting the usual
childhood diseases matures and renders it capable to fight infection
and malignant cells in the future.

The use of multiple
vaccines, which
prevents natural immunity, promotes the development of allergies and
asthma. ANew Zealand study
disclosed that 23 % of vaccinated children develop asthma , as compared
to zero in unvaccinated children.

Cancer was a very rare
illness in the
1890's. This evidence about immune system injury from vaccinating
affords a plausible explanation for Dr. Clarke's finding that only
vaccinated individuals got cancer. Some radical adverse change in
health occurred in the early 1900s to permit cancer to explode and
vaccinating appears to be the reason.

Vaccines are an unnatural
phenomena.
My guess is that if enough persons said no to immunizations there would
be a striking improvement in general health with nature back in the
immunizing business instead of man. Having a child vaccinated should be
a choice
not a requirement. Medical and religious exemptions are permitted by
most states.

When governmental policies
require
vaccinations before children enter schools coercion has overruled the
lack of evidence of vaccine efficacy and safety. There
is no proof that vaccines work and they are never studied for safety
before release. My opinion is
that there is overwhelming evidence that vaccines are dangerous and the
only reason for their existence is to increase profits of
pharmaceutical firms.

If you are forced to
immunize your
children so they can enter school, obtain a notarized statement from
the director of the facility that they will accept full financial
responsibility for any adverse reaction from the vaccine. Since there
is at least a 2 percent risk of a serious adverse reaction they may be
smart enough to permit your child to escape a dangerous procedure.
Recent legislation passed by Congress gives the government the power to
imprison persons refusing to take vaccines (smallpox, anthrax, etc).
This would be troublesome to enforce if large numbers of citizens
declined to be vaccinated at the same time.

Dr.
James A. Howenstine is a board certified specialist in internal
medicine who spent 34 years caring for office and hospital patients.
Curiosity sparked a 4 year study of natural health products when 5 of
his patients with severe rheumatoid arthritis were able to discontinue
the use of methotrexate (chemotherapy agent) after trying an extract of
New Zealand mussels for the therapy of severe rheumatoid arthritis.

Dr.
Howenstine is convinced that natural products are safer, more effective
and less expensive than pharmaceutical drugs. This research led to the

"Dr. W. Torch
was able to document 12 deaths in infants which appeared within
3½ and 19 hours of a DPT immunization. He later reported 11
new cases of SIDS death and one near miss which had occurred within 24
hours of a DPT injection."
